Chapter 1290 - Shes So Capable (1/2)

The butler was slightly surprised. He did not expect Ye Qing to have observed everything so carefully.

But he did not understand. Since Third Prince knew that it wasn’t Miss Gu who had pushed Miss Xue’er, then why did he let Miss Gu leave!

Ye Qing saw the butler’s doubts and said coldly, “She is a girl and being my bodyguard, if I am in danger, she would need to use her body to block it. I have no need to make her my human s.h.i.+eld.”

The butler nodded thoughtfully. “But she will be very sad if you let her think that you don’t believe her.”

“I don’t need to care about her feelings.”

The butler looked at the man whose expression was cold and said nothing else.

The Third Prince had grown up in the palace and had seen all kinds of schemes. He was not a fool and had a balance for many things in his heart. He was introverted and had a stable temperament, keeping everything in his heart and never saying it out loud.

Ye Qing went to smoke at the smoking area. When he came back, Xue’er’s forehead had been bandaged.

Looking at Xue’er’s pale and weak face, and slender body, there was a complicated feeling in Ye Qing’s heart.

When he was young, he thought that Xue’er was as pure as a snow lotus high up in the mountain. Because he had grown up in the palace, he did not like women who were too scheming and liked those who were pure. He thought that Xue’er was such a person.

After returning to the Royal family, Sihan and Nan Zhi mentioned to him about the fis.h.i.+ng village, Gu Meng and some things Xue’er had done before.

Xue’er used to like Sihan and did something to break the relations.h.i.+p between Sihan and Nan Zhi. She did not succeed and could not accept it. Seeing that he had come back, she wanted to hold him in her hands.

He did not suspect Sihan would lie to him. However, Xue’er was the only woman he had liked when he was young, so there were still faint traces of lingering obsession in his heart.

He wanted to see for himself what she would do and how much she could destroy her own image.

…

In the Crown Palace.

Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan had a rare dinner together.

As King and Queen, they attended to hundreds of important matters every day and it was hard to have a meal together.

But no matter how busy they were, they would come back no matter how late it was if they were both in the Capital.

Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi, who put down her chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls, and sat beside her, holding her slender hand. “What’s wrong?”

“I met Gu Meng today. She came to the Third Prince’s palace to pack her things. She was dismissed by your brother.”

Mu Sihan’s deep and dark eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Nan Zhi’s beautiful face, he held her hand tightly. “You’re thinking that Xue’er is sowing discord and making my brother dismiss Gu Meng?”

Nan Zhi drew back her hand from Mu Sihan’s strong one and leaned her body against the chair. “I asked Mengmeng for a long time before she was willing to tell me the reason she was dismissed by your brother. Xue’er was up to something again. She didn’t manage to break us up and now she is getting between Mengmeng and Ye Qing. Okay, although she is the first love that Ye Qing can’t forget, how can your brother not see through her despicable tricks?”

A trace of a smile appeared on Mu Sihan’s lips. “How do you know my brother can’t see it?”
